It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...

I know for a fact that a lot of boards out there are thriving because of how many people are there. We just need to get back into the game and pull people here. However, where we obtain these people might matter, because we don't to end up pulling in douches like those at Selkath.

I understand that people are busy these days, but it doesn't seem like they're rarely at their computer anymore. I know most of you are still dicking around with your computer. I don't know how we …

Happy New Year OT! We may be dying... BUT WE'RE STILL HERE! We had an... interesting year last year. Vice Admin Burkman is taking a long earned vacation and Uly is stepping into his position. Well... I'd have more to say but I've got other things to do atm... and oh yeah... to quote Callin... "GET A MIC YA BUM!"

I'm not much a rum person and even I know Captain Morgan is for peasants. I have a friend who likes Kraken, I hear decent things. Never had it myself. I usually tend to stick to my bourbon. Plan to pick up a bottle of Four Roses at some point.

Unless it's private stock... it's literally the worst made rum on the market... save RonDiaz... and that comes in a plastic bottle. When I say worst... I mean it's the worst for your body... not the worst tasting (tho IMO it is). It's so poorly distilled and there's so much processed sugar (unfermented) in it it's insane. I often wonder why it sells for as much as it does... because it's basically a shit rum. And yes... I drank the stuff for years before and in college before I found this out.

The Kraken was... ok... was a little disappointed in it (for my expectations before drinking it)... I can't remember if that was the really peppery tasting one... I think it was. Killo has a pretty strong vanilla... almost creamsoada-ish flavor. Dunno why but I felt those two were on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to rum.

Is there a change you're just getting the short end of the stick in the US, cause Morgan's sure ain't what you're making it out to be over here... I mean, sure- it's not as good as some speciality rums, but when I'm OK with poking out 200 quid for a bottle of those, I'll let ya know...It's not bad tasking either. Granted, I only drink the spiced stuff, but still...

There's a lot of alcohol companies that make lower quality product for export...

No you get the same bottles sir (I've had it in the UK and SA)... Morgan puts a lot of extra shit in their original spiced rum. I couldn't tell you the names of the processes for the spices they add... just that they add a lot of extra sugar to the rum after it's been distilled (more than most rums and they're high on their artificial spice content). You can get Cruzan or Sailor Jerry's Spiced rum for 2/3rds the price of Morgan and it's HIGHLY better quality rum. Bacardi Spiced is another good one... but it's a little more pricey than the other two.

Ban... I drank the stuff for years... I've taste tested it against MANY other rums because I didn't believe it at first. I'm a rum snob. It's crap.

And for spiced rum... the only other popular brand I would consider lower than Morgan... is RonDiaz.
